Hi alexis :)
You don't really need a whole foods - your regular supermarket should have everything you need, or local health food store.
I would suggest cooking some basic dishes that the rest of the family can enjoy too - grain dishes, bean or lentil dishes etc - these you can buy anywhere or online and in bulk for a cheaper way of doing it. Just add some veggies to things and play around a little and I am sure the family will soon be enjoying these too :) :)

You can make all the side disher superhero then make the usual meat dish for everyone else. The others won't even know that they are eating healthier, they may notice little things like no cheese, butter, and meats added to the side dishes, but that won't matter. You can buy so many groceries on the internet now, you don't need a whole foods, besides they are expensive. Be sure to cook up big amounts of grains, beans and rice and freeze them and it will be like making a package of instant rice, so easy!

lol I have that same issue. And it really does suck. My family is from Maine and are all avid hunters. Go figure. We spent the morning building salt licks so they could shoot some because today is the first day of hunting season. And I couldn't get out of helping...but i have noticed that beans, veggies and rice are easy finds anywhere. Nuts are also good. Ive managed a normal vegan diet easily but the superhero is not so easy. brothers always trampling my veggies with his 10lb bags of steak. Hell I have never seen him or my dad eat a single vegetable.
